There is no particular reason for this haphazard group of sites listed here. I just like them. As you may see, not all of the sites are entirely useless.
(If you discover any broken links, please fill out a feedback form. Please note that there will be no response to solicitations for reciprocal links. Under no circumstances will I link to sites simply because they are linking to this one.)
